I worked for a Cerberus owned company once. Those guys do not mess around. They will burn money like crazy if they think it will help their bottom line, and that will slash expenses to nothing for the exact same reason. They clearly think Bushmaster is going to be a liability, and they're ditching it. And I bet they didn't take pennies on the dollar either.

Those guys are sharks; if they're getting out, smart money says they know something. I have zero evidence for this, but after watching their operating practices in detail for 4 years, that's my strong gut feeling.

I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go. I should go.

jimmyego:That seems a rather over the top self-penalization, PR stunt or otherwise.

They probably just want to get their money out of it before any new gun laws get enacted. As an equity firm, I doubt they're really into guns or gun ownership, and just want the cash to invest in something else.

Interesting. Considering the FBI is running NICS checks at record volumes right now, you would think that these guys would be able to sell everything they could possibly produce and want to hold onto it.

Reading that series was an interesting exercise in watching a innovative mind slowly come apart. By the end I could barely read it between the extreme amounts of crazy and the disgusting bag of shiat Dave Sim had become.

Really?, I agree with you on the Plasma Shotgun and Javelin, and maaaaaybe on the SMG, but the Pulse Rifle just feels like ass to me.Give me a Ghost Infiltrator or Batarian Soldier with a Harrier any day of the week.

CuttySupreme:Looks like it's about time I buy my AR-15. These gun-grabbers are probably going to get their way this time.

Why buy one if they are gonna grab it? I mean, if your worried about a total ban then buying would be silly, if its just going to be taken away soon. Now if your talking about a ban with a grandfather clause, then yes Id agree its time to buy. Me, Im not so worried. Ive got 2 factory 17 round mags for my Beretta and 1 factory 20 round mag for my DTI AR-15. If in the coming months all I can buy is 10 rounders Ill be ok.

SomeoneDumb:This is an excellent oppy for shooting enthusiasts to pool their money together and buy their own company.

The problem is, their entire current product line will likely be illegal to sell to the public in about 6 months. You'b be far better off with the stock of a company that makes sporting shotguns or revolvers or something like that at this point. Just in general, though, firearms companies aren't great investments. They always end up competing against their own NOS and used products in the marketplace, since, with a minimum of care, most guns will take 50-100 years to wear out. Colt, Smith and Wesson, and Winchester all have some history of bankruptcies.

/Mass Effect thread?, in my Fark?//it's more likely than you think

Never touched the Pulse Rifle (seemed too weak to me also), but I was talking about the Plasma Shotgun. That baby tears through pretty much anything like butter.

/Never liked the sniper rifles in multiplayer. Much harder to get a headshot (the only shot that matters for sniper rifles) when you can't slow time down.
